A President’s Message
Brian Disney 2025 GBA President
s an Association…it’s been a busy year thus far. We appreciate all the support from our members, volunteers, leadership and staff. From advocacy support…to marketing, networking and educational events…there are opportunities for all members to participate and benefit.
Our First Wednesday Member Connections provide an opportunity for members to make new business connections. New this year, prior to each First Wednesday, members are invited to meet with GBA leadership as part of our Member Connect to explore areas of interest and ways to engage within the Association.
In April we held our Annual Awards Celebration…with Jim Tobin, NAHB President & CEO joining us to share insights from our national association. We continue to deal with many unknowns in our national economy, however one thing we know for sure is that our national and state lobbyists are working for us each day to ease regulatory burdens on our industry.
In May, GBA members participated in NCHBA Legislative Visits …meeting with state legislators to discuss policy issues that impact housing. We value and appreciate the involvement of our members engaged in advocacy initiatives on our behalf on the local, state and national level.
Our Workforce Development initiatives continue to expand working with Guilford County Schools, GTCC, and NC A&T State University Student Chapter. We need members to meet with students to help build greater awareness and interest in pursuing careers in construction. Please consider volunteering to be added to our member database…you will be contacted when opportunities arise to determine your availability.
Our initial scholarships have been awarded from our Building for the Future Construction Careers Scholarship Endowment providing financial support for students pursuing skilled trades training at area community colleges. If you know of any students that might be interested encourage them to apply…applications can be found on the website.
To continue to grow our Scholarship Endowment – our annual Casino Night fund raising event with all proceeds going into the Endowment will be held on October 30. There are numerous ways to support this event from sponsorships…to donation of prizes…to purchasing tickets…to serving on the planning team.
We just concluded our Spring Parade of Homes featuring 43 newly constructed homes. We appreciate the support of our builders, sponsors, trade contractors, suppliers, designers and everyone involved in making this annual event successful. As we gear up for our Fall Parade of Homes to be held October 4-5 & 11-12…we are excited to combine this event with the annual TOUR of Remodeled Homes…showcasing both newly constructed and professionally remodeled homes with traditional open houses or virtual tour only entries.
Builders and Remodelers…Continuing Education registration is open with virtual courses available September-November. We ask that you take your CE courses with us…as we make a financial commitment to offer a variety of dates and options…and need your support.
There are numerous events scheduled for the remainder of the year including educational programs offered by our PWB and Remodelers Councils. Utilize our weekly Member News emails and visit our website to stay abreast of industry news and upcoming events.

Builder News
Fall Parade of Homes / Tour of Remodeled Homes
October 4-5 & 11-12
New this fall, we are combining our Fall Parade of Homes and Tour of Remodeled Homes…allowing consumers the opportunity to tour both newly constructed and professionally remodeled homes…both in person and virtually. There will be a designated section within the magazine profiling remodeled homes…which will have open houses October 4-5 only.
Additional information, including participation agreements, can be found on the website. Early registration deadline is July 11. Final deadline for Builder and Remodeler entries is August 1
Signed into law on March 19, HB 47 (Disaster Recovery Act of 2025) delays the effective date for both the commercial and residential codes until 12 months after the NC Residential Code Council is set and the publication of all the NC State Building Codes. This simply means that you can apply for a permit under the current 2018 NC Codes until sometime next year…date to still be determined based on the above requirements.
The published new 2024 approved codes that focus on residential dwellings and structures are the following:
• 2024 NC Administrative Code (available for purchase now)
• 2024 NC Residential Code (anticipated to be available in June from ICC)
• 2023 NC Electrical Code (based on the 2023 NEC with NC Amendments)
You can use the new 2024 NC Codes as an alternate method if you wish now. Links for the new code books available for purchase can be found on the website.

Industry News
NCHBA Legislative Visits
GBA members joined industry members from across the state in May to visit with state legislators to discuss policy issues that impact housing. Advocacy is a critical component for trade associations and we’re fortunate to have members willing to represent our members and industry…lobbying for policies that will lower the cost of housing and help close North Carolina’s staggering five-year housing gap — 764,478 homes short of what’s needed to meet demand.
Support NC BUILD-PAC
Our state legislative team continues to have a significant impact on code and regulatory issues impacting our industry. To continue to maintain our effectiveness in Raleigh and locally, we need your support of NC BUILD-PAC. It is essential during election years that we are able to support candidates that understand and will fight for issues important to us. This year we have the Greensboro City Council elections and need your support.
Donations must be made from your personal account. Corporate checks and credit cards are not allowed. Additional information including a link to donate can be found at: www.nchba.org/ goverment-affairs/nc-build-pac. Make sure to list Greensboro Builders as your local HBA so that a percentage of your donation goes to our reserve for city and county elections.
NCHBA Group Health Insurance
If you are exploring options for company health insurance, the NCHBA Group Insurance Trust may be an option for consideration. The plan is offered to association members that have at least 2 employees (a spouse does not meet the definition of an employee) and whose business is directly related to the home building industry. You can join the plan at any time throughout the year. To learn more about the health insurance program and request additional information, visit www.nchba.org/ nchba-group-insurance-trust.
